Welcome

I am Steph Lyons

Pelvic Health Physiotherapist

BSc (Hons), MCSP, HCPC

I qualified as a Physiotherapist from the University of the West of England and completed my pelvic health training in the NHS.

I have a background in perinatal fitness and corrective exercise for the core and pelvic floor and a passion to help women feel their best at all stages of life.

Pelvic floor dysfunction can impact a woman’s life in many ways. From the stress of trying to manage incontinence, to no longer enjoying intercourse or holding back on enjoying activities they used to love due to their symptoms.

My aim is to help women regain optimum function of their bodies to feel aligned, balanced and healthy.

I can help and treat women 18 years old and above who are experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor dysfunction can occur at any age and the reason can be due to many factors or life experiences; pregnancy, childbirth, trauma/surgery and menopause are a few examples.

In-person appointments take place in a private clinic in Adber, just outside Sherborne, with virtual appointments available via a secure online platform.
